University students everywhere are the new jet-setters of the world. And, apparently, the only ones who know how to cross through security effectively.
To answer a few questions I have observed today: Yes, you must baggie-up your liquids. Yes, your lap-top needs it's own container. No, you may not wear your incredibly tacky wallet chain through, sir.
On top of being incredibly infuriating, airports are so unnaturally gross. I can shower half an hour before getting to one, and still feel like I need a shower immediately upon setting foot into one. And it's weird, because you get warned about everything else about airports - getting tazered for example - but not the disturbing level of ick that they bring on.
I would just like to point out here that airports are not nearly as glamorous as they are made out to be in songs/movies/TV and so on and so forth. And it's not the vast amounts of people, or the lines, or the waiting for super delayed flights that make airports so grunge chic. It's that they make you take your shoes off at security.
It wasn't always like this. I remember the days when me and my clunky boots could waltz our way through the annoying beep-y thing (I'm not up-to-date on the airport lingo... obviously.). And now I have to yank off the boots, and walk on the kinda-really-gross floor. I realize that I could have a knife shoved in the heel of a boot, ready to shank the pilots and steal their plane for varying terrorist activities (free flight to Hawaii anyone?). Or maybe not. I don't know, but if I was by some off chance a terrorist I would do things with a little more style than that, and I certainly wouldn't be caught dead walking through the beeping thing without shoes on.
And I would probably know the technical term for the beeping thing. That would be handy.
